'Cheers' Star -- My Ex Might Set My Car on Fire

John RatzenbergerJohn Ratzenberger has filed for a restraining order against his 45-year-old ex girlfriend -- claiming she's capable of violence because she listens to country music.

The former "Cheers" star laid it all out in legal papers filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, saying his ex "indicated that it is common in many country western songs for women to set the cars of their former boyfriends on fire."

He continues, "That statement insinuates that she may have the capacity to perpetuate this act or similar violent conduct."

Ratz also claims he is "deeply disturbed by the harrassing and intimidating phone calls, emails and text messages."

John also accuses his ex of contacting his friends, family and business associates and making "false and defamatory statements" about him.

John is asking the judge to keep the chick 100 yards from himself, his house, his job -- and of course, his vehicle.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name Is Ours

A bar in Illinois that dared to call itself "Cheers" is getting the legal 86 from the folks that cooked up the show.

According to the lawsuit, the bar is using the exact same name and logo as the "Cheers" bars all over the country ... which are licensed by CBS. You'd have to have the mental capacity of Woody Boyd to jack the signature sign like these people did and not think CBS would come after you.

Maybe it's all over for the Illinois "Cheers" anyway -- a call to the bar said that the phone had been disconnected.

Rapper Obie Trice Shot on Detroit Freeway

Eminem protege treated and released
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

(Dec. 31) -- Obie Trice was shot early Saturday while driving on a city highway, police said. Trice, a Detroit native and protege of Eminem, was on the Lodge Freeway at about 1:10 a.m. when his vehicle was shot at by someone in another car, said Michigan State Police Sgt. Mario Gonzales.

Trice managed to continue driving and exited the freeway in the suburb of Southfield, where his girlfriend, who also was in the vehicle, flagged down police, Gonzales said. The girlfriend wasn't wounded.

He was taken to Providence Hospital, where he was treated and released, said hospital spokesman Brian Taylor.

There were no suspects in the shooting, which was under investigation by state police detectives, Gonzales said.

Trice has performed on Eminem records and with 50 Cent. His 2003 debut album "Cheers" was produced by Eminem, and he also had a small part in the feature film "8 Mile."
